.no posting for me.

Thanks to the miracle of prednisone, I am just about back to normal. Still a little pain in my wrist but at least I can use it. That was one weird thing. I was supposed to have a nerve block before they did my shoulder surgery but it numbed my arm and hand but not my shoulder. Then, when it wore off, I had the most horrible pain you can imagine. It was so bad I couldn’t even touch my arm, anywhere. The slightest movement was excruciating. The best I could do was sit in the recliner all day (and night) with it propped up on pillows and try not to move it.

The orthopedic surgeon, the anesthesiologist (who administered it) and the neurologist, were all baffled as to what it could have been or what to do about it. (Note to doctors, everywhere: not a good thing to say in front of your patient that you have no idea what’s wrong or what to do about it.)

Anyway, after five days of immobility, super-strength pain killers (morphine) and the steroids, I’m about 85% better. At least I’m out of the sling and can type again. :o) (Lots of catching up to do.)

Thanks so much for everybody’s concern and well wishes. It meant a lot to me. And it was frustrating to not be able to convey that any sooner.
